re: Arch Bishop Matthew Parker ancestry. I don't believe Matthew Parker's descendents were Irish. Do you have any historical information regarding this? There was one group of Parker's that removed from Plymouth, Eng to Ireland, but I don't believe they were from Matthew Parker's family. Robert Parker, the father of non conformity migrated to Ireland. His son was Thomas Parker and he first settled in Newbury, Mass from Holland. Please let me know if you have any source information that I can refer to. Thanks!
